Bridge at Shawfield

Wondering if anyone can help ? When passing Richmond Park there is a bridge on the old alignment of the Rutherglen Road in Oatlands . The Bridge seems to not to have any watercourse under it , does anyone know what the purpose of the bridge is?

Not 100% sure what it is there for, but I'm thinking Jennie's Burn (Polmadie Burn) runs underneath it and it eventually joins into the Clyde.

Had a look at the map there the watercourse is in Richmond Park , there must be a piped burn . Wonder where it starts?

If I am thinking of the same place then I took a photo from the road bridge back in 2010;



Thats looking from the road towards Richmond park.

Malls Myre per chance? It runs through Richmond Park and empties into the Clyde.

It is indeed the Polmadie Burn.

A number of burns come together to form the Polmadie Burn (it's only called that from the point where the Malls Mire Burn and West Burn join together to the south of Rutherglen Road). Most of the base flow in it originates from up towards Cathkin Braes.

Didn't there also used to be a big old fashioned house over on one side of the bridge there? Maybe in the past it was used for access to the property. House was knocked down when all the redevelopment started.
